Well, today I'm finally reaching the 20K mark after 7 1/2 years here at FM. I would like to thank my shooting buddies and bald eagle friends: Andy, Ted and Mike Rucci for the continuing support and friendship over the years.

FM has been a great journey for me and my photography over the years and it has been an awesome learning experience. I picked up the digital camera in 2007 after a brief stint at digiscoping and It's been a wild ride ever since.

Also a huge thanks to Karl A, Tim K, Tim F, Kirk, Conrad T,Birdie, BB, surf n Ron, Phoo, Nick and Geoff and all of the other unnamed great talents out there who continue to inspire me. A huge thanks to Fred Miranda for providing such a cool forum for everyone here. Also, a big thanks to those who comment and critique my threads, without which there would be no improvement to my craft. At that, I'm sharing just 12 of my favorite bald eagle shots. These shots are from 4 and 5 years ago, when the pond was teeming with hundreds of eagles.

Thanks FM'ers,
Herb

Herb,
You have been a big inspiration to me!
I always look forward to your beautiful captures to get a feel on composition!
It is also so much fun photographing with you in person as well as seeing you most every morning on N&W saying hello!
You surely have the best critters to photograph nearby your place and do an awesome job!

Here is too your 20K

and hope to see many more in the far future too!

Thank you,
BeeBalm

An excellent retrospective Herb! The last two eagles in this set have super detail and quality. That last shot is pretty cool. Of all your stuff, I like the peregrines the best, but you do a good job on all the images you share. Always good to see your posts, and I appreciate you stop in to view mine. Cheers! Here's to continued photo success and posting.
